Feng Qi questioned Mu Yao about the Road to Heaven, the Domain World, the Pillar Gods, and the origins of Miracle Items, learning that humanity might carry the Pillar Gods’ knowledge and power through life inheritance. He left the conversation with one major question unanswered: Mu Yao had just learned that Mu Qing was compatible with the Scarlet Rune Crystal, and Feng Qi asked where it came from.

• Feng Qi asked why Mu Yao built the Road to Heaven and sent humanity’s strongest warriors there, and Mu Yao explained that it delayed the Domain World’s invasion and protected humanity’s development.

• Mu Yao speculated that Mo had assembled Little Black from a Pillar God Relic and explained that it might carry its own rules; she also taught Feng Qi how to identify a location in the Void World through spiritual perception.
• Mu Yao said she knew nothing about the Blue Skin Race and identified Feng Qi’s spreading black mark as Negative Emotions threatening to consume his body.
• As Feng Qi’s condition worsened, he used his Fist Momentum and Blade Momentum Flame to absorb Mu Yao’s energy and avoid dying.

• Mu Yao confronted Jian Ji, and Feng Qi called Mu Qing for help; Mu Qing left her squad’s mission immediately and rushed toward Winter City.

Mu Yao fought Jian Ji while Feng Qi fled with the Winter City garrison squad, but Jian Ji pursued him because he mistook Feng Qi's Blade Momentum for the Demon Blade's.
